The 150 hectares of vines in the tiny village of Chambolle-Musigny are a soft interlude amongst the great vineyards of the Côte de Nuits. Chambolle-Musigny has 24 Premier Cru vineyards and it is Les Amoureuses and Les Charmes that are generally the most renowned. The poor limestone soil is well known for producing wines that are delicately scented. The Burgundian term Les Charmes refers either to an uncultivated plateau with little vegetation or the existence of wooded land covered by Hornbeam. In this case it refers to the former because Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes is located beneath Les Grandes Mûrs that has long been an uncultivated field.
Louis Latour Description
With its deep ruby colour, our Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Charmes" exhales a nose with notes of cherry and clove. Its mouth is ample, fresh, and offers a beautiful length. Almost saline final.
James Suckling: 93 Points
At once perfumed and dark with stacks of sour cherries, black raspberries and licorice as well as floral notes. Yes, this has crisp acidity, but also very good depth in the 2021 context. Time has already started polishing these tannins and will no doubt do more for them so patience is recommended. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Deep in hue, this wine exudes rich aromas of wild strawberries, dark cherries, and abundant spice. The palate is lifted by ample acidity and an intense mineral-laden backbone that lingers beautifully through the finish. It would make an excellent accompaniment to braised dishes, particularly duck or pork.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Lush and bursting with fresh cherry, raspberry, floral and spice flavors, this red shows fine balance and harmony. Firms up, gaining precision and tension on the lingering finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. 120 cases made, 20 cases imported.
